Ukrainian drone strikes have resulted in the complete suspension of Russian shipping in the Sea of Azov within a week. Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces targeted over 100 Russian tankers and other vessels nightly from July 6 to July 13, leading to the closure of the shipping route from Russia's Don River to the Sea of Azov and halting all shipping transits through the Kerch Strait into the Black Sea, as reported by Reuters. This disruption has further isolated the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula by cutting off seaborne fuel deliveries, exacerbating existing fuel rationing and power outages in the region.
